I was contacted by a penpal of Darlie Routier's who gave me some of the most recent advances in her case to share with you all. I began writing to Darlie in December of 2005 and she is one woman whom I will never understand how she got behind bars. Really. You know what else? With all the information ALREADY out there about this case, in addition to the newly discovered info, I think if you can't see this poor woman's innocence, you may just be an asshole. So many legal flubs, so much question and police innuendo that turned out to be nothing. So many fingers pointed and road blocks thrown up, I am surprised this case isn't used in other countries to point to the clusterfuck we call a justice system. I believe Darlie could have been released ages ago if the state had done the necessary DNA testing. Sadly, Texas has tried to stop it in every unconstitutional way they could pull out of a bull's ass. BUT- there is hope on the horizon. This from Camp Darlie ...
I don't know enough about this case, but it's seems pretty obvious the 20 year old is a sociopath. They have video of this guy going into his initial trial and he's smiling. No scruples!
ReplyDeleteThis should be a pretty interesting case. The texts between the 14 year old and the 20 year old appear pretty damning. I am ambivalent about the girl being placed in an adult facility until the courts decide if she is a co-conspirator.
In any event, it's tragic. She seems pretty intelligent. Her Twitter bio says "Incurable optimist with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a ravenous appetite for adventure." What 14 year old talks like that?
She definitely had a role to play, but I hope the courts don't base the "truth" on informal means of communication.
Im with you there. Shes obviously smarter than your average 14 year old but that could work for or against her! Im also curious as to how this turns out.
DeleteHere's what happened: She was to be tried as an adult; she was determined to have been the genesis of the killing; she admitted guilt today; and she issued a quote: "I AM A MONSTER". I think that sums it up.
